Building on [1]prior Mesa contributor guidelines and discussions among upstream Mesa developers, there are two generative AI "GenAI" policies that have now been decided upon for Mesa development moving forward.

Merged today to Mesa 26.1 Git are two Gen AI policies that have been discussed and largely agreed upon with developer consensus for enforcing around code submissions moving forward:

- Mesa will not accept automatic submissions through autonomous GenAI tools of any kind unless there becomes community consensus. So even if Gen AI is used in coming up with the patch(es), an actual human still needs to be the one opening the Mesa merge request and interacting with the developers.

- GenAI usage also has to be disclosed. Mesa will honor contributions made via generative AI / LLMs but there must be proper disclosure so users know if the patch was generated via an AI agent or assisted so in coming up with the patch(es).

[2]This merge it was landed these new Mesa development policies moving forward.
